@danjames36@karimbrohi I our data from more than 2000 pts, when you as standard of care use TXA acc to CRASH2, most fibrinolysis dissapears and the correlation with mortality is at LY30 > 10 % for TEG. For more see ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2979484…
@PCC_PharmD@EDPharmDRoy@ThePeoplesRuben@ChelseaRames I thought heparinase was used primarily to detect for heparin activity in context of cardiopulmonary bypass and protamine reversal. Have also seen it in studies used to assess adequacy of DVT ppx. Would use non-heparinase for any trauma/ txa study
@EDPharmDRoy@ThePeoplesRuben Is it? I have no idea and cant find any lit on it. The most recent TEG study doesnt mention heparinase in their methods section but the manufacturer lists it as an option to "assess the presence of systemic heparin" which doesnt seem very useful in the trauma bay?
@ChelseaRames
Doing a TXA/TEG project with our PGY1 @chelsearames and apparently we run 2 TEG assays. One with a "heparinase" addition to "neutralize endogenously secreted heparin-like substances." As a result, LY30's all seem lower in that sample (which skews more towards shutdown and no TXA)
AMAZING study on TEG data over time among trauma pts and resultant outcomes based on phenotypes. LOTS of data to digest in this one, but HF or SD = bad; persistent SD = bad; HF is either lethal or short lived. No TXA admin'd as data from 2010-2012 #FOAMedbit.ly/2S8HOZ2

@topknife “There were no indications made as to the hemodynamic status of the patients enrolled ... Does an abnormal INR matter if a patient is not hemorrhaging and does a normal INR matter if a patient is?” #EASTjc
#Eastjc is the future of resuscitation Pre-hospital permissive Hypotension with Plasma in the field as well as TXA, if continued bleeding move forward with PCC and MTP continue Whole blood resuscitation ? we have come so far in the last few years!! Exciting time !!!
@topknife “The authors showed an improvement in the time to correction of INR in the 4-factor PCC group to just over 6 hours ... however, patients that die from acute coagulopathy of trauma do so within the first 3 to 6 hours.” #EASTjc

Great talks at #MHSRS2018: @MartinSchreib10 presents multicenter PRCT of prehosp TXA for TBI. Improved survival w 2g dose, and 2/3 of sample met criteria for fibrinolysis shutdown!
I spoke with people from the Cubs. The man who grabbed the ball on the widely seen video had actually already helped the little boy get a ball earlier. The young man has a game used ball and a Javy Baez ball. All is well. Guy is A-OK so let it go people.
